1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into Northside Territory, presented by Fox One. I'm Sahade

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Sharma with my partner Patrick Mooney. We are your Cubs

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: beat writers over at the Athletic Patrick. The Cubs are

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: on the brink of elimination. The Milwaukee Brewers have just

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: thoroughly embarrassed this team with their performance there. They did

6
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: everything that the Brewers do well in Game one, and

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: then they took what the Cubs do well in Game

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: two and flipped the script on them and started hitting

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: battles out of the park. Just you know, so far,

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: two games in, it's been a dismantling the Cubs have not.

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Cubs have seemingly grabbed the momentum in each game and

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: then quickly lost it. Whatever night that was, Monday night

13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: it was. That was one of those where you thought

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the Cubs offense was gonna get going, and they just

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: three run homer, an impressive three run run homer by

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Say Suzuki, and the Brewer's answer with their own three

17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: run shot at another one later, and they just demoralized

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: that team and surely the fan base no doubt.

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: Walking into the visiting clubhouse at American Family Field around

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: eleven fifteen, pm ish Monday night, completely silent. I think

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: I heard a laundry cart kind of rolling through at

22
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: one point, but you could tell they were coming to

23
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: grips with the reality that they had just been absolutely

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: dismantled and that their season was teetering.

25
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: On the cliff.

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: And this, I think embarrassing is the right adjective. And

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: it's not just like one person. There's not just like

28
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: one sort of goat here who has to wear it.

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: But when you poach Craig Counsel from the Brewers, you

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: got to be thinking like, hey, this could be this

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: could be the blow that really uh knocks them off,

32
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: and they've gotten better uh without Counsel.

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: You know.

34
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: The I think the payroll stuff goes both ways, right

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: of like you can point out, hey, you know, the

36
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Cubs don't really seem to maximize their advantage, like they

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: give the Brewers sort of chances by not going all

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: out and say signing in Alex Bregman or or spending

39
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: like the top teams in the National League. And then

40
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: from the business side, they look at it like our

41
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: payroll is, you know, roughly eighty to one hundred million

42
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: dollars more than the Brewers every single year. Why are

43
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: they finishing you know, five to nine games better than

44
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: us over the last few years. I just totally running

45
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: the division and just you know, in every phase of

46
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: the game here, uh, Game one, it was defense. The

47
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: Cubs did not execute, and that's been their their calling

48
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: card offensively outside of uh those leadoff you know, first

49
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: inning home runs, it's been very quiet, almost no pressure

50
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: on the Brewers. And then just pitching wise, the Brewers

51
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: did it with a traditional ace and Freddie Peralta, and

52
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: then after then the Cubs led them off the hook

53
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: for using an opener. I don't know what uh, you know,

54
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: sort of collaborative decision that was. But the Brewers regrouped

55
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: and just were lining it up the miz there throwing

56
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred hundred and one, three hundred and

57
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: four over and over again. Just in every which way,

58
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: the Brewers have dominant, and I think to the disappointment

59
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: has to be for fans here. I think we and

60
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: media rightfully pump this up of like, oh, this could

61
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: be like a classic, just a great matchup between two rivals.

62
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: They had the proximity, they have the animosity, and really,

63
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: these have been two games where we have to write

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: these takeaways with our buddy Andy McCullough that are due,

65
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: you know, final out and everything's held up. And that's

66
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: normally almost it feels like every regular season game when

67
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: we go up there, it's back and forth. It's crazy,

68
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: you know, as Justin Steele would say, the games are

69
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: drunk up there. This has not been. This has been

70
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: just the Brewers imposing their will over and over.

71
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's you know, the power output. And Game two.

72
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Don't know if that trend will continue. It doesn't matter

73
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: really because it showed up for a huge game for them,

74
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: a huge win for them. We'll talk more about the pitching.

75
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I think that's obviously critical to this series. But the

76
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Cubs offense has not showed up. You know, you know

77
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: how much I've been talking about. I believe they'll show

78
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: up this postseason. There are three games and three runs

79
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: in every game except for the one that they were

80
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: shut out in two for seventeen with runners in scoring position.

81
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: The only game that they had more than three at

82
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: bats with runners in scoring position was the Darvish game,

83
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: the Game three against the Padres. Otherwise it's two or

84
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: three at bats with runners in scoring position. Last night

85
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: it was one for two. That one obviously being says

86
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: three run homer. They're just Craig Council says it all

87
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: the time. He said it during the regular season. Put

88
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: pressure on the other team. Eventually you'll break through. It's

89
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: a good philosophy. You just keep putting men on base,

90
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: get runners in scoring position. You do that, you know

91
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: six out of nine innings, you're gonna win a lot

92
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: of games because you know that means you have a

93
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: good offense, and eventually you'll break through and have a

94
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: big inning. They had one big inning, and that's great.

95
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: They didn't They didn't do anything else after that. A

96
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: one batter uh, one one hit after the second inning,

97
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: no runners reaching second base after the second inning. Uh.

98
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: It just was, you know, a meager offensive performance yet again.

99
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: And it's you know, they they threw out their opener

100
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and then they dominated with a bunch of relievers. It

101
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: comes to like you can go down the list. Ian

102
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: Happs had a really bad postseason. Jackson Curio hits this

103
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: three run homer, backbreaking the three run homer that that's

104
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: what put the game out of reach, really and and

105
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: he he was a question mark coming into the game

106
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury and he's out there doing his job,

107
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: looking great. And Kyle Tucker has a calf injury and

108
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: you know he's singling every you know, every other game.

109
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: No power to be found from you know, their superstar bat.

110
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Pete's had a rough time. He kind of bounced back

111
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: in Game three and then in Game one of this

112
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: series with a couple hits, but no, look that they

113
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: need to hit for power. They're not doing it enough.

114
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: Solo home runs aren't going to get the job done,

115
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: not not more often than not. You know, you can

116
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: score runs. Sure, hit some solo home runs, but they

117
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: needed They just need to do more, and they haven't.

118
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: It's a it's it's been I guess it hasn't been shocking.

119
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: This Brewers team is really talented. And I kind of

120
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: said that it's like maybe that's just the bottom line.

121
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: This is a better team, uh, and like nobody should

122
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: be surprised by what the Brewers do. Sure, winning with

123
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: home runs is a little bit of a surprise, but

124
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: this is not like some scrappy underdog like they like

125
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: to present themselves. They are ninety seven win team, had

126
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: the best record in baseball. They are a very good team.

127
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And right now, like you said, they're imposing their will

128
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: on the Cubs. They're showing the Cubs that, hey, we're

129
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: we're the better team. Uh, Patrick, let's uh, let's let's

130
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll we'll hear from Fox one,

131
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: our new sponsor. All right, I will, I will read

132
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: this properly, but I'm not ready yet. Okay. All of

133
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: our playoff coverage is brought to you by Fox One.

134
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Fox one is now live stream all your Fox favorites

135
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: together in one place, including all a AL playoff games

136
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: in the World Series. We got two AL playoff games today,

137
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Seattle versus Detroit. I mean, that's those aren't fun, you know,

138
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: the biggest cities and then most of the biggest markets.

139
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: But that's been a fun series. The Mariners are an

140
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: exciting team they have even that series is up, that's

141
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: probably the best series going right now as far as uh,

142
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, competition wise. I mean the rest of them

143
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: are two oh right, uh. And in the other game tonight,

144
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: Toronto versus the Yankees. That you want to talk about

145
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: the Cubs getting blown up in the first two games.

146
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of shocking how badly the Yankees have been beaten. Uh,

147
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: that's an offense that lives and died by the home

148
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: around the Yankees and the Toronto's just stumped them. Uh

149
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: just been really impressive. How good? Uh Toronto has looked that?

150
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Did you see Patrick, the youngster Trey is Savage dominate

151
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: the other night? Multiple like what was it? Six and

152
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: a third? No hit for this kid? Uh? The Cubs

153
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: could shoot.

154
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: Sure you starting pitchers are allowed to throw more than

155
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: like two innings. Yeah, and I covered the Cubs. I

163
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: pitching is it is not been there for the Cubs,

164
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: and look this team. I think it all starts with

165
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Kate Horton. I think everything fell apart with Kate Horton

166
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: not not being healthy and Craig Council had to go

167
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: to his emergency plans starting Matthew Boyd on short rest

168
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: did not work. It looks like a bat decision, obviously,

169
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: with the result showed in Managa twelve home runs in

170
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: his final six starts, thirty one homers over the course

171
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: of the season. I believe I wrote that twenty five

172
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: of those were solo shots. And now you know, now

173
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: he gives up this three run homer in the first

174
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: like he started. It started at the last regular season start.

175
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: He gave up a three run homer, then a two

176
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: run homer to Manny Machado, now a three run homer

177
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: Andrew vaugh of all people, the pitching's not it's not fresh,

178
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: and and they just they don't have enough right now.

179
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: And it's showing up against the Breweries. They got through

180
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: that Padres game. They you know, pretty damn well in

181
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: that Padres series. It's not it's it's it's coming back

182
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: to bite them now. And like I think it all

183
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: starts with Horton, but also you need guys like Boyd

184
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: and showed it to step up, and they just haven't

185
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: showda like I didn't. I don't know if this is

186
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: what bit him, but his splitter, he barely went to it,

187
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: and when he did, he was just leaving it up

188
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: over the plate. He must not really trust it. And

189
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: and you know they were hitting his fastball. I think

190
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: what got hit out was the fastball and a sweeper. So,

191
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, just a tough night for Showda in Monaga

192
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: and Cubs pitching plans are not working right now.

193
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there is like no path back here,

194
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: Like there's no pitching plan per se that makes you

195
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: feel good. This isn't the zero four red Sox of

196
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: like a Pedro Martinez, Kurt Chilling. This is not the

197
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen Cubs where they're down three to one. But

198
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: you know you've got some.

199
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,119
Speaker 1: You know, the.

200
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: Amazing starting pitchers like those pitchers barely exist anymore in

201
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: the game him for forget the order of what was

202
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: it Lester Arietta Hendrix, Uh. And then you know you

203
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: piece it together with just ah other worldly performance from

204
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: a role as Chapman there to get it to back

205
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: to Cleveland and eventually a game seven. And you know,

206
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: I you made a great point you pointed out last

207
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: night we're sitting next to each other, uh Monday night

208
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: in the in the press box in Milwaukee of council

209
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 2: just going out there without even showed as interpreter of

210
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: just like buying time to get Palencia ready. Uh showed

211
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: a through his interpreter in the clubhouse, just said, I

212
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: ruined the game. There's frustration and it's kind of it's

213
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: tough to watch, Like just after seeing showed a pitch

214
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 2: with so much joy and conviction, UH, to see him

215
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: go through this rough stretch at the worst possible time

216
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: after almost two full seasons of very good to greatness.

217
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: Matthew Boyd similarly, like, You're just fantastic in the first

218
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: half and you know, really well regarded by his teammates,

219
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: but like that was your plan a after Horton's injury,

220
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: and like, as great as Horton was, he was sort

221
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: of baby all season and he's a rookie like you,

222
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: you have to be able to withstand stuff like that,

223
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: and you know, we'll get into it. I'm sure this

224
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: offseason will try and dig in more on those prices

225
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline. I don't know if there was

226
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: a surefire starter out there, and maybe your best pictures

227
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: would have cost you Kate Horton and or Matt Shaw

228
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: and that was obviously see a non starter. But for

229
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: a team that has pieced it together so well since

230
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: justin Steele went down in April. The Cubs have left

231
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: them open for a lot of first and second guessing here.

232
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they you know, they talk about pitching depth and

233
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the importance. It's it's fascinating because the Dodgers were injured

234
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: for most of the year, banged up with their pitching staff,

235
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: and now all these guys are healthy at the right

236
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: time and kind of like locked in and doing it

237
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: and pitching well. The Cubs, you know, they lead on

238
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: these guys. Matthew Boyd, you know, he's great, and it

239
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: seems like he's kind of run out of gas. I

240
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: don't know, like it's it's you know, the results suggest

241
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: as much. You're right the way how good Imnaga was

242
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: and now it's just he has major home run troubles.

243
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: And we knew that that was going to be the case,

244
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: that there are going to be moments he just had

245
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: to limit them. A solo home run in the first

246
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: is so much different than that three run shots stucking

247
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: all the air out of the you know, the if

248
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: you want to if you believe in momentum, and I

249
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: believe in monum in a game, you know, it doesn't

250
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: carry over for the next game because it all depends

251
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: on you know, things can change so quickly. But it

252
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: felt like the Cubs were about to do something, and

253
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: I think I and hafn't even said as much. He thought,

254
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, he thought this that that was the beginning

255
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: of Oh, here we go. Uh the offense, Uh needs

256
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: to you know, it's going to wake up here h

257
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: and say it kind of said, you know, for him personally,

258
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: it was one and done. He didn't do anything after

259
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: that game. After that home run, he said they need

260
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: to believe through his interpreter, he said they need to

261
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: have more tenacious at bats. Ah, he's not wrong, you know.

262
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: I I thought the relievers they brought out there are

263
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: perfectly fine. The Cubs needed to put up better, better

264
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: offense against those guys. But I don't know, you know

265
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: that they're able to do send out how many do

266
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: you remember how many relievers the Brewers sent out.

267
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: Six six, six and they went.

268
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: Six relievers within so seven pitchers. They're able to do

269
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: that and really limit the Cubs offense. You know, there's

270
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: no reason the Cubs can't match them. That that group

271
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: was was, it was fresh, but the plan didn't work.

272
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: These guys are gassed and the starters are gassed clearly,

273
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: and and it just kind of like it it was

274
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: a domino effected that started in April with Justin Steel

275
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: going down and and then and continued into September. Like

276
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: just bad bad timing, bad injuries. These things did not

277
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: work out for the Cubs, and it looks like it

278
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: could be what cost them their season.

279
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: And like, I have not fully looked at all of

280
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: the Brewers coverage yet. It was a late late night

281
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: and a quick turnaround here. But the Brewers are totally

282
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: lined up for Game three too. I mean, Quinn Priester

283
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: hasn't thrown yet. He had an excellent season. He grew

284
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: up in a Cubs fan in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

285
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: I believe he went to some of the twenty sixteen

286
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: World Series games because his family had some connections through

287
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: work to the Cubs organization. And then yet this series

288
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: was set up for relievers too, with all these off days,

289
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: to the point where you're probably gonna use your a

290
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: relievers more than your starters anyways, And so they were

291
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: Walkee's best relievers were not pushed in Game one. They

292
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: get an off day, you have Monday, Game three off day,

293
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Game two, Like, you gotta think Pat Murphy and his

294
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: staff will be going forward to put the Cubs away

295
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: in Game three. They're gonna have the pitching to do it,

296
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 2: whereas the Cubs are really kind of gasping for air.

297
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: Here and in the next segment we can get into babe,

298
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: talk yourselves into being optimistic if you're Cubs fan. But

299
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: I guess you know, warning like it's gonna kind of

300
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: strain credibility.

301
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,320

325
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: your best bet to feeling good about things. He looked

326
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: really good for four innings, the type of outing that

327
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: you said, you know, if it wasn't that short series,

328
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: and the way they were looking at how they wanted

329
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: to use their bullpen and really lean into it that series.

330
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: He could have gone six or seven innings. He was

331
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: dominant and he looked really good to end the season.

332
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: I think he feels really good right now. He's feeling confident,

333
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: he feels like his stuff is at its peak. That's

334
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: I think that's where your optimism has to stem from.

335
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: If you want to believe. Obviously, this team is going

336
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: to believe and say the right things. I think what

337
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: if Pete say is like, I'd be an idiot if

338
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't think I'd be a fool if

339
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think we could come back. He's right. If

340
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: any of those players or any of those coaches are

341
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: telling the media that we're done when you're not done,

342
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: when the season's not over yet, it would be embarrassing.

343
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: So that's what they have to do. That's what they

344
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: have to say. And obviously it's possible it has happened before.

345
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: It is highly unlikely. We just explained what's going on

346
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: with this team right now. I wouldn't be surprised if

347
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: the offense showed up suddenly, because that's that's how offense

348
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: works in baseball when you have some talent. But it's

349
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: just really gonna be hard to piece together into pitching.

350
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Tyon could get them to a game. Four boy will

351
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: be rested. I guess four days rest, but I just

352
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know we we can like second guess all the

353
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: pitching decisions. I just you know, like they ran out

354
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: of it. And now you've got to lean on on

355
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Tyon and hope that he hope that he is at

356
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: his best and can extend this series a little further.

357
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you start with going back to Wrigley Fields, Tyon

358
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: on the mound, I don't know, a rainy day off

359
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: to clear your head. The sense of routine and trust

360
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: in the process that the Cubs have exhibited all year

361
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: when you get into our tober every day, it is

362
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: precious and I'm sure those players in the clubhouse will

363
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: you know, appreciate the chance just to keep running it

364
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: back out there for howevery many hours are left in

365
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: the season. But like we talked about previously, you can

366
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: sometimes just sense it when a team is just kind

367
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: of out of gas. I go back to when we

368
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: were there ten years ago. Cubs looked awesome and then

369
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: the NLCS hit they're pitching was sort of running on fumes.

370
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: They're playing a team that was just like totally locked in,

371
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: a pitching staff that just kind of knew every hole

372
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: to exploit. Just the momentum just kind of wore a

373
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 2: team down and that doesn't last, like the Mets didn't

374
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: win the twenty fifteen World Series. But at this particular moment,

375
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: the Brewers are just so dialed in and they are

376
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: not quite a Cinderella team at this point. I mean,

377
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: William Contreras, with the celebration you mentioned, I mean, you

378
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: just made a great comparison between Cheerio and Tucker. You'd have,

379
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: if necessary, Freddie Peralta in a Game five waiting in Milwaukee.

380
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: I just don't see it. I'm sure there'll be forty

381
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: thousand fans at Wrigleyfield hoping otherwise. But yeah, for the Cubs,

382
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: you just got to survive Game three. You know, they're

383
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: going to expend everything they have in terms of pitching

384
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: resources to try and force the game fo.

385
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: But just.

386
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: It's like the Cubs said, I Bee, it was Michael

387
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: Bush after they lost Game two in the Padres in

388
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 2: the Wildcard series. It's like, this is a series, and

389
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 2: that's always important to remember of like you kind of

390
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: have to take a little bit wider angle at times,

391
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 2: and the Cubs have been good at that of just

392
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: the managing a three game series and avoiding a sweep

393
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: or you know, kind of taking game one and then

394
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: setting themselves up for Game three. Like that's kind of

395
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: the rhythm of the baseball season. It's not the Bears,

396
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: where every week is like the super Bowl. But when

397
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: you apply that logic here, like, there's no no case

398
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: to be made for the Cups.

399
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I feel it. It's tough to make

400
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: a good case for them to win this series, you know,

401
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: push it to four. Sure, if you want to believe,

402
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: I am not going to tell you not to. I'm

403
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: struggling to find the optimism with this group. You need it,

404
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: Like the optimism was you needed to take one of

405
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: those first two and then then you can see a

406
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: path obviously, But with Freddy Perolta looming, I assume they

407
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: hold him off to Game five. Maybe, like I I'm

408
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 1: be surprised if Murphy just says, like, let's let's finish

409
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: them off, because that's a risk a like you have

410
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: a chance to like have shown they can beat them

411
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: without pretty Parolta like. But maybe maybe he just goes

412
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: with him in Game four and says, I don't want

413
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: to overthink this and let me like, I don't want

414
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: to risk uh sending this to a game five, and

415
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to rip, and I don't want to

416
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: overthink it and say like, oh, I can save him

417
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: for game one. You shouldn't. That's it's a dangerous way

418
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: of thinking, you know what I mean. But we'll see,

419
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. If he even gets to a

420
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: Game four, Wriggly will hopefully the energy will be back

421
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: to Wrigley. I don't think the fans are going to

422
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: be all solid just because they're down. Duoh, it's a

423
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: playoff game at Wrigley. They'll they'll be trying to will

424
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: their team to come back in this series. They've seen

425
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: it before with this organization. It has been a while.

426
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: It has been a long time. Twenty sixteen was actually

427
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So yeah, it's tough to feel optimistic.

428
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: And that's, you know, dot. I don't blame anyone for

429
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: hanging their head and thinking that this season is over,

430
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: because that's, you know, it's very fair for fans to

431
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: feel that way. And I'm gonna let the optimists feel optimistic.

432
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: But I think we've watched these first two games and

433
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear what kind of brand of baseball the

434
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Brewers play, and they're they're a really strong team. The

435
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: Cubs played them evenly all season long, so it is

436
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: a little disappointing to see these first two games and say, Okay,

437
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: they look overmatched, because I don't think they are purely

438
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: overmatched by the Breweries, but clearly they have work to

439
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: do and they're not at their best right now, and

440
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: when they're not at their best, they aren't able to

441
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: piece it together. Sorry, go ahead, I.

442
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: Was said, no doubt, there's nothing, nothing, nothing else left

443
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: to uh be said. It's like how some of the

444
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: players when they found it's just like thanks guys, and

445
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: then just turn around.

446
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,879
